Romantic Sword and Book

6 stars. After more than 400 days, I finally found another work that can exceed five stars. Needless to say, the screen layout and colors are just right, and the montage is just right (especially when Cannjian and Feixue draw swords and stab each other in the second act), the Rashomon-style story unfolds, and the director throws one attractive question after another to push the plot forward Development, most of the plot and lines are predictable (exactly what I thought in my mind, such as "I", such as "Remnant Sword").

—————————————————————

Summarize the storyline:

Three years ago, Canjian Feixue failed to assassinate the King of Qin. Feixue did not understand the reason for Canjian's abandonment because of the revenge of killing his father.

Wuming confronts Changkong, and Changkong deliberately seeks defeat.

Anonymous said: the part of the nameless seeking word is true, and everything after that is false.

King Qin said: Wuming's performance in ten steps and one kill is true, Feixue's willingness to donate himself is true, and it is false after that.

No name is true twice.

Looking back at the fake story Wuming made up at the beginning and the guesses made by King Qin after that, there is a lot of basis for it. For example, Canjian Feixue does have emotional problems, and Ruyue has a really strong personality. Can Jian Feixue, indeed "people do not leave people, the sword does not leave the sword".

The more difficult to understand plot and a few problems that the director did not clearly explain:

1. Why did Canjian not kill the prince three years ago?

The first time I watched the whole film, I felt that, as he said, this is what he realized from the realm of calligraphy. In order to write a film review, I went back and re-watched this paragraph, and I found that Canjian was in the Qin Palace with the King of Qin. When facing the sword, in the last move, there is an obvious closed-eye shot, and then he decides not to kill the King of Qin. This short 10-second shot is the key to understanding the whole film. Wuming said, "Changkong, Feixue, Canjian, only Canjian's swordsmanship is comparable to that of the minister", Canjian's understanding of calligraphy has reached the level of feeling the opponent's temperament through a short confrontation with the sword, he knows Knowing that King Qin is not a tyrannical person, and even knowing the reason why King Qin is single-minded in ruling the world, at the moment when the swords meet, Canjian and King Qin have the same mind.

2. Why did the King of Qin sound a little playful when he said the third meaning of the sword? Why did Wuming fly forward immediately?

When the King of Qin turned his back to Wuming, he had put his life in the hands of others. While staring at the word "sword", Wuming also raised his sword towards him, swaying murderously, hesitating. After staring for a long time, King Qin said happily like a child that he had realized that when he said the triple realm of the sword, Wuming, who already knew the meaning of the word "sword" written by Canjian, immediately knew that King Qin really had the same mind with Canjian. What he said was true, so he no longer hesitated.

3. Why are the ministers arranged to say: "Your Majesty, kill or not"?

This kind of principled question, I thought it was natural to "kill" without hesitation, but the sentence "Your Majesty, kill or not? Your Majesty, kill!" But the King Qin clearly explained why the King Qin's nature was peaceful in the eyes of others. Is it violent? In his position, he must have the courage to cut off his personal relationship. One is one, and two is two. However, the King of Qin still hesitated for such a long time as a warrior and a rare confidant who lived and died in this position. The shock of being surrounded by people who suffer from loneliness is self-evident.

4. Why did Wuming not escape from the Qin Palace?

Wuming has been training hard for ten years just to assassinate Qin, and besides that, he has nothing to worry about. Now that he has lost his only goal, he naturally has no meaning to live. "The dead, please remember the highest realm."

—————————————————————

The king of Qin was censured and plotted, no one could understand his heart, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu dynasty made him a tyrant. "One person's pain is no longer pain compared to the rest of the world." The moment Wuming said this, King Qin burst into tears.

Canjian understood King Qin in the collision of swords, King Qin realized Canjian in the calligraphy of one character, assassins and emperors who had never known each other were the only people who could understand each other, between the sword and the book is the ultimate interpretation of romanticism .

These people either for hatred, or for love, or for confidants, or for the common people, and they all ignore life and death. After watching the whole film, I remembered the name of the film. The six people on the cover are all,

hero.
